SAM is the live opportunity source
SAM.gov is used for notice discovery, amendments, attachments, due dates, and opportunity-side evidence that powers monitoring, workspaces, and briefs.

How GConIQ uses SAM.gov and USAspending
The product works because source boundaries stay explicit: SAM.gov for live opportunities, USAspending for award history.
This page explains how the platform uses official public sources, what each source is authoritative for, and where the system deliberately refuses to blur those boundaries.

How GConIQ Uses SAM.gov and USAspending | GConIQ
Proof points
What this page is anchored to.
- Official-source ingestion only
- Explicit source authority
- Snapshots and provenance
- Opportunity-side citations
- Award-side evidence boundaries
Section headings
The questions this page answers.
Section 2
USAspending is the award-history backbone
USAspending is used for historical award and recipient context, which supports competitor research, recompete views, and partner discovery.
Section 3
What each source is not used for
SAM is not treated as the authoritative award-history warehouse, and USAspending is not treated as the live solicitation feed. That separation prevents false confidence.
Section 4
How provenance and citations stay explicit
Derived outputs stay tied to source-specific evidence so teams can see whether a claim came from opportunity-side materials or award-side history.
Section 5
Why GConIQ does not output win-probability theater
Public source data can support routing and research, but it does not justify a hidden probability-of-win score presented as certainty.
FAQ ideas
Questions this page should answer clearly.
Why does source authority matter?
Because live opportunity facts and historical award facts move on different clocks. Blending them without boundaries leads to misleading outputs.
Does GConIQ use unofficial mirrors?
No. The core product stance is official-source ingestion, snapshotting, and explicit provenance.
Can one source override the other?
No. A SAM due date and a USAspending award record answer different questions, so they are not resolved by whichever record looks newer.
